America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 224 Finally, the first time I show off and get slapped in the face!
"I still want to make a VLOG for international students. I can shoot this type of video myself."

Xiao Zhao's thoughts are different from Mr. Cheng's. She understands Mr. Cheng's good intentions, but she also wants to run and try it alone.

In Zhao Hongjin's view, if her four short video accounts are all operated by MCN, how much does her so-called achievement have to do with her?
She wanted to try it herself.

"Okay, have you decided on the theme of the next video?"

Since Xiao Zhao insists, Mr. Cheng will certainly not refuse.

The girl with peach blossom eyes shook her head and replied:

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I can take a picture of my school?"

PPD's campus is right on the seaside, and the buildings and gardens in the school are also very unique. Zhao Hongjin is very optimistic about this theme.

"It's not a very good idea. What I mean is that if the content is just on campus, there are many reasons, probably related to risks, so I won't go into them one by one.

My suggestion is that you can shoot some details of campus life and let the editor cut them together for distribution, but don’t just shoot the campus. "

Xiao Zhao had to admire that Mr. Cheng was still taller than him.

What she sees is the effect, while Mr. Cheng looks at the risk first.

“But I’m going to release a video this weekend. The original theme of the international student VLOG was for me to go to Long Beach to take pictures of the sunset in Long Beach. I think this idea is a bit weak.

It's a great idea, but one theme alone cannot support a large video content. "

Frowning slightly, Zhao Hongjin fell into deep thought.

Long Beach, although it is just an ordinary little bay, has become a well-known tourist attraction thanks to the east wind of American cultural hegemony.

Zhao Hongjin’s words reminded Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng looked at the calendar on the table and replied with a smile.

"Today happens to be Sunday. Can you invite you to a wine tasting party with me? By the way, we can watch the sunset on Long Beach."

The peach-eyed girl was a little surprised when she heard Cheng Daqi's invitation.

Brother, do you want to date me?

"Okay, but why is it a wine tasting party? I don't understand wine." Xiao Zhao replied a little confused.

“A friend invited me two days ago, but I wasn’t sure of the time, so I didn’t agree. I just said it would depend on the situation.

I'll take you with me today so I can meet my friends and help you get some shooting materials. It's said to be a wine tasting party, but it's actually a gathering of young people. "

The person who invited Mr. Cheng was Domo, the rebellious son of the real estate tycoon. He was one of those people who had left his billions in wealth without inheriting it. Instead, he only wanted to be a catering man.

"That... okay."

Xiao Zhao's life as a child is also very boring. The school is in the suburbs and the circle is too clean and too small. She is very happy that Mr. Cheng is willing to take her to see the colorful world on the west coast.

"Let's go now, the ticket is a bottle of good wine, we need to get some wine."
-
A black Tesla is driving on Route 8, with the giant bear Lear behind the wheel.

Mr. Cheng sat in the back row, holding his mobile phone and diligently browsing short videos - this was part of his job.

Although Shanhaiguan and mas have full-time content collectors and analysis teams, they do not have the experience of five years ahead of Chengdu.

Xiao Zhao sat next to Mr. Cheng, feeling a little uneasy.

"Brother, we are attending the West Coast Wine Tasting Party and the wine we brought is Maozi. Isn't it a bit too unique?"

Zhao Hongjin finally asked the question she wanted to ask. She didn't expect that when Cheng Daqi bought wine, he actually bought Maotai.

After taking a look at Zhao Hongjin, Cheng Daqi smiled. He found it very interesting.

Xiao Zhao is often too mature to be ridiculous, but she is still a 19-year-old girl, and she still has an innocent idea in her mind that she wants to integrate into the group and be recognized by others.

And she believes that the most important thing to integrate into the group is to be gregarious, or not to be independent. This may be the influence of the Chinese cultural education background on her.

In fact, people always like special people.

Moreover, Maotai is not a special wine. Duomo's circle of friends is quite sophisticated, and they may have tried this top-notch wine in China.

Xiao Zhao is still too young.

“It’s okay, you can search the story of Moutai on Baidu now and tell them the story when you get there later.

We are all young people. This kind of party is called a wine tasting party, but the theme is actually about friends having fun together.

It doesn't matter whether the wine you bring is good or not, as long as the story is good. "

Mr. Cheng didn't know what was going on at the wine tasting party. After all, he was just an ordinary entrepreneur, but he was still able to fool Xiao Zhao into a daze.

"Chan, can you take me with you when you drink?"

The giant bear Lille is really heart-beating, very, very heart-beating.

He himself likes to drink, and Mr. Cheng wants to drink wine with a story. Listen to it, 'wine with a story'. How can Lille not be tempted?

"Hahaha, yes, but you can't drink too much."

To detect drunk driving in the United States, you have to walk in a straight line. As long as you can keep a straight line, it is not considered a drunk driving. Therefore, even if Domo is a part-time driver, he can drink a small amount. (I won’t go into too much detail, just think this applies to the United States)
"Daqi, drunk driving is not safe, this..."

Xiao Zhao cleverly switched back to Cantonese to remind Cheng Daqi.

Well, during the Anti-Japanese War, she was at least a senior agent and had a strong sense of confidentiality.

"Let's find a substitute driver, Zhao. You actually lack experience, do you feel that?" Mr. Cheng teased.

"..."

After feeding the dog out of kindness, Zhao Hongjin glared at Cheng Daqi and said nothing.

However, she did feel that she was too far behind Cheng Daqi. Although the age difference between the two was almost the same, the gap between them was reflected in their actions and ideas.

Life is not easy, Xiao Zhao sighed.
-
"Ha, Chan, I thought you wouldn't come, hahaha."

Thomas came up and gave Mr. Cheng a warm hug. He really admired Mr. Cheng in every aspect.

"Actually, I didn't plan to come today. I'm too busy. The new company has just been established, and my head is overwhelmed with countless trivial matters.

But when I thought that it was your first time to invite me, I told my secretary to postpone everything to tomorrow and I would come to attend your appointment tonight. "

With that said, Mr. Cheng took the Maozi he brought, raised it and introduced it.

"Maozi, the state banquet wine of China, is this a good wine?"

Mr. Cheng's mouth was able to speak clearly about the three hundred kilograms of black round grinding stone, and naturally he easily took down Domo, who was far inferior to the grinding stone.

After hearing what Mr. Cheng said, the fat cook put his arm around Mr. Cheng's shoulders, raised his other arm and introduced him to the other people in the room.

"Everyone, my best friend brought the best wine. When Brother Minato visited China, he met the Chinese people and drank this wine. Its name is-"

At the end of the sentence, the fat cook motioned to Mr. Cheng to speak.

Because all of Domo's friends are between the ages of 20 and 30, Mr. Cheng is very familiar with this atmosphere.

After thinking about the preferences of Americans, Mr. Cheng smiled and naturally raised the straw in his hand and shouted loudly.

"King Maozi, King Maozi produces only a few hundred bottles a year!"

what! ?

Everyone in Xiao Zhao was numb.

Brother, what we bought was an ordinary Mao Zi that costs 300 dollars a bottle. How did it turn out to be a limited edition of several hundred bottles a year in your mouth... King Mao Zi? King Maozi, what a bullshit name is this!

It's a pity that Americans don't understand President Cheng's shame. They only feel excited, and some even cheer.

Perhaps Duo Mo's circle of friends is indeed a bit high-end, and it failed to produce the effect of being able to respond to a hundred responses and get the crowd excited. Mr. Cheng was a little disappointed.

“Chan, thank you so much, hahaha, I’ll save your wine for last!
superman always appears last! "

As the organizer of the wine tasting party, Domo knew that Mr. Cheng was talking nonsense, but he was willing to give Mr. Cheng a face.

"Ha, there's one more thing. When it's my turn to drink this bottle of wine, I'll have to limit it to one sip per person.

After all, this wine is too precious, hahaha. "

What Mr. Cheng was considering was Zhao Hongjin’s shooting effect!

Duo Mo thought that Mr. Cheng was just showing off, but Mr. Cheng was never a person who liked to show off. His purpose in doing everything was to help Xiao Zhao make the wine tasting party more interesting.

"Chan, these are all small things. You said you opened a new company, can you tell me more about it?"

The fat cook took Mr. Cheng to a corner with a flower pot, and they stood in front of the flower pot and chatted.

Dormer and Mr. Cheng got to know each other because of his failed food truck business, and later this buddy even helped Mr. Cheng cook a meal for free.

"mcn, you can think of it as an internet celebrity company."

Mr. Cheng lit a cigarette and looked at the Long Beach coast outside the small window. He felt that something was wrong with things.

When I met Thomas, he was still a penniless homeless man. He earned hundreds of dollars by selling out his country, so he invited Sani to dinner.

Now, in just one month, his two companies have gradually got back on track.

The seeds of the future have been planted, and we just have to wait for time to pass and for them to germinate and bloom.

"MCN? You...Chan, the last time I heard this word, it was an investor scolding an MCN company he invested in.

Probably that company originally had thousands of YouTube influencers, but because of a YouTube policy, most of the small influencers lost their value overnight.

Are you sure now is a good time to be an MCN? "

Duomo's reminder was sincere. He was naturally cautious. In his opinion, Cheng Daqi seemed to have chosen a very bad industry.

Mr. Cheng smiled and replied.

"I know what the case you are talking about is about. I did some research before I started in this industry. YouTube Partners of YouTube can get advertising shares, but this year YouTube has adjusted the entry threshold for Youtube Partners, and many MCN companies have supported it. Can't go down anymore.

Their idea of ​​​​creating accounts is to increase the volume. As long as the volume is large enough, they can earn income, so they have many small Internet celebrities. After the YouTube policy changes, these small Internet celebrities have become assets with no income. Therefore, those MCNs At once.
My model is different from theirs, and the platform I rely on is not YouTube. "

Successful entrepreneurs are always serious. He dares to get financing from the rich black-haired woman and Sun Dongxin because he is confident!
“Relying on the platform .Chan, entrepreneurship within the platform ecosystem is actually not a good model.

The risk from platform policy changes is only one of them. More importantly, many businesses started within the platform lack irreplaceability.

In the early days of the platform, they did not bother to do small and detailed business. However, when the platform matures, MCN, a business that does dirty work, cannot continue.

Those leading Internet platform companies will only squeeze out every penny. "

The fat chef is really capable, at least he has the knowledge and height in business, after all, that is where he started.

"You're right, but I won't just do the dirty work all the time, hahaha.

Not talking about this anymore, you said last time that you would continue to investigate opportunities in the catering industry. Do you have any clues? "

Mr. Cheng had a clear path for his future business map, but he didn’t have to dig deep with an ordinary friend who was not even an investor, so he brought the topic back to Domo.

"Well, Chan, I may lack a little courage like you, or rather, a lot.

The more I examine the matter of starting a business, the more unreliable I feel. For example, in 17, there were more than a thousand start-up companies seeking financing in Saint-Louis, and among these more than a thousand, less than two are still alive today. Hundreds of families.

In the foreseeable future, a large number of these two hundred companies will die. In the end, you know.

Starting a business is gambling, and I may lack the courage to make a bet. "

Everyone has their own troubles. What Duomo lacks is not the courage to make a bet, but the courage to try and make mistakes.

“It is normal to fail in starting a business, but you have more room for trial and error than ordinary people. I suggest you stop worrying about various risks. This is meaningless. As long as you do things, you cannot avoid risks.

But even if you do fail halfway for some reason, the experience you gained and the reliable people you met along the way will not disappear. They can be a boost for your next business venture. "

Mr. Cheng has already seen Duo Mo's problem. This guy simply lacks the mentality to give it a try.

He had too much, and he was afraid that he would ruin the family fortune, so he did not dare to take the step to try.

"Ha~"

A meaningless modal particle expresses Thomas' helplessness, recognition, and hesitation.

He was wearing shoes, so he did not dare to step into the turbid sea easily.

"Is this an apartment or a villa? Is it yours?"

Mr. Cheng really liked the house where the wine tasting party was held. It was large enough and had double floors inside.

The best part is that from the window, you can have a panoramic view of Long Beach.

In the distance outside the window, you can still see the U.S. Navy's military port, and there seems to be an amphibious assault ship parked there.

What man wouldn’t like a house like this?

"This building was built by my family, and I still have a few units in hand. I can sell them to you cheaply if you want."

Well, the son of a real estate tycoon is really arrogant in his words.

"Cheap? No matter how cheap it is here, it still costs tens of millions, right?" Mr. Cheng asked.

"Hahaha, my apartment is more than 500 square meters, and it may cost 30 million U.S. dollars. I can give you a 15% discount, which is already very cheap.

Don't think it's too expensive, customers here include Saudi princes, children of Japanese chaebol families, wealthy Chinese or Brazilians, etc.

For only $30 million, you can enjoy the top residential services in the United States. Thomas replied.

Chan, you lack a basic understanding of American luxury homes.

Thirty million dollars, equivalent to approximately 200 million yuan, is higher than the valuation of Chengzong’s previous company.
After all, I am not worthy.

The complacency that Mr. Cheng had gained during this period was shattered by this price.

He realized that he was still a little Karami, at least far from 'rich' in terms of cash flow.

There is still a way to climb, and he must continue to work hard.

"Thomas, something's wrong, there is..."

A waiter found the two people in the corner. He noticed the presence of Cheng Daqi while he was talking, and added strangely.

"Ah, you are here too, sir. Your female companion seems to have had a dispute with other guests."

Did A Zhao have a dispute with someone?
Mr. Cheng raised his eyebrows, he was even looking forward to it.

My success on the West Coast was nothing, but in San Roto, huh.

After being reborn for so long, can you finally pretend to be cool?
　Six hundred thousand words later, the protagonist in my book is finally going to show off for the first time.

　　Hahahahaha, laugh to death
